    You could have lots of fun with these techniques : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cw699VbWfE -- The One Minute Muse | Art Journal Techniques -- many video tutorials & demos.

    In general :

    -- Nature, the great outdoors, the scene from your window, anything & everything around you, ....can tell a wonderful story.

    -- You can also try to visualize quotations, lyrics, jokes, quips, literary characters & scenes [from any book you are reading], etc. - give it your own interpretation & impression.

    -- Ask "what if....?" questions. eg. What if we had only 4 fingers in each hand? What if the stage curtain does not drop at the right moment? What if a character from Shakespeare met a character from Victor Hugo?.... When you think up answers to some of these Qs, you can get some unique material for your drawings.

    -- News items, current events, human interest stories, weather, etc. also offer you a Daily opportunity to draw something.

    -- Dreams, fantasies, interpersonal experiences, feelings & emotions, colours, ....

    -- From A to Z, think of a thing starting with each letter every day & draw it. eg. A for apple, apostrophe, apparition,... today ; then stuff with B tomorrow; & so on. Think of more than one thing, that will go together meaningfully, for each letter, & compose your sketch.

    -- Similarly with geometric shapes. Choose one & develop some images with it.

    -- Visualize & draw Emotions / Traits, etc. eg. Courage, Love, Fear, Hate, Perseverance, Peace, Joy, Kindness, Naivety, etc.

    -- You could also depict Life stages or Rites of Passage such as Birth, Death, Adulthood, Maturation, Childishness, Teenage years, Mid-life crisis, Old age, Senility, Marriage, Widowhood, becoming a grandparent,....

    -- You could think of some "story", incident, issue, quotation, joke, ... & try to depict them through your sketches.

    -- You can choose characters from any book, comic, film, poem, etc. that you like & develop them visually. Draw them as you "see" them.

    -- Mythological characters, symbols, ...

    -- For any or all of the above, you could do a whole Spectrum of emotions, expressions, positive-to-negative, and so on.

    -- http://www.kerismith.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/0... -- I like the idea of making your own paper cuttings with tips & ideas. You can fold & collect them in a jar [like a wish jar] & pick any one randomly & implement the idea. It can be like a never-ending stream of ideas if you keep adding to the jar whatever you find amusing, creative, any idea, website, activity, project, etc. etc.

    - nature from your window -- trees, neighborhood, lawns, birds, ....

    - animals, including pets

    - birds

    - plants, trees, flowers, bees & butterflies.....

    - humans performing various activities – series of dancers eg.

    I just finished drawing something. But it did not turn out so I am going to look at a picture of something I like and then try to draw it again. And probably again and again until I get it perfect for what I want. The picture has three parts. How many parts do your drawings have?

    Source(s): drawing again and again and again.

    have you tried drawing something nobody ever thought about? Like something really close up, or you could try looking online for photos and then redrawing them, but with your own twist.

  • Draw disney characters :D They are always fun and colorful.
